son colorless

Chapter 63

Early the next morning, Situ Xue walked through the alley with a bunch of hibiscus in her hand, and ran into Si Kong Xing who was walking towards her.

The hibiscus is delicate and beautiful, setting off Situ Xue's face brightly and movingly.Sikong Xing saw it, and was a little at a loss.He used to have mild hay fever, but now he endured it and sneezed a few times.

Situ Xue was taken aback, took the hibiscus away, and apologized, "I'm sorry."

Sikong Xing was a little embarrassed, reached out to touch his nose, looked at her cheeks full of hibiscus, and couldn't help saying: "Usually I'm used to you wielding knives and guns, I never thought that you also like these flowers and plants."

The alley is narrow, Sikong Xing said, and turned half of his body to let Situ Xue pass first.After hearing his words, Situ Xue was a little surprised. When she walked past Sikong Xing, she realized that she was referring to the hibiscus in her hand, shook her head, and said, "I picked this hibiscus not for myself, but for the second son. .”

Just as Sikong Xing was about to walk away, his face froze when he heard this.

Situ Xue said: "In the past few days, the second young master has always come to the shop door to look at the hibiscus from time to time. I think he likes this flower. I just saw that the hibiscus bloomed well today, so I picked some and sent it to him."

Sikong Xing was startled again.The wind passed through the alley, the hibiscus branches swayed, and his eyes dimmed.After a moment of silence, Sikong nodded to Situ Xue, passed her by, and walked towards the shop.

Situ Xue noticed something strange about Sikong.Early this morning, she was originally helping in the shop.When the cloud-tailed wolf went out for a stroll, he asked her to pick some hibiscus flowers and send them to Jing Feng.Situ Xue was reminded by Yun Chenya, and then remembered that the second son seemed to have a special liking for hibiscus.As soon as she picked hibiscus, she ran into Sikong Xing in the alley, who knew...

Thinking of this, Situ Xue paused.She turned her head to look at the alley, which was empty and narrow, with long slanted shadows cast by the sun.Situ Xue hesitated for a moment, then turned back.For some reason, I always want to explain to Sikong again.

As soon as he arrived at the intersection, a man dressed as a servant stopped Sikong Xing, bowed his head and nodded, "Mr. Sikong, take a step to speak."

Under a green willow on Linjiang Street, the servant looked around, took out a dagger from his pocket, and handed it to Sikong Xing.

The appearance of the dagger is simple, except for the hilt, which has a pattern of seven stars reflecting the moon.When Sikong Xing saw the dagger, he was startled suddenly, he looked up at the boy in a daze, and asked, "Who are you?!"

The servant didn't answer, bowed his waist, put his hands in his sleeves, leaned closer and said: "After half an hour, there will be 62 households on Xihuai Street."

After saying this, he looked left and right again, took a few steps back, turned and left.

Sikong Xing held the dagger in his hand and stood there in a daze.For a moment, he frowned, slammed his toes, jumped up, and disappeared in the long street that was still quiet in the early morning.

The wind blows green poplars, the sound of leaves.Behind the wall not far away, a person circled out.Situ Xue stood quietly, looking at the poplar tree in front of her, her eyes flickering.For a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief, and just as she turned around, she was startled by the person in front of her.

"Elder, eldest son?"

A teasing smile spread from the corner of Cloudtail Wolf's mouth, but his eyes were very cold.

He glanced at the green poplar tree at the entrance of Linjiang Street, then fixed his eyes on the hibiscus in Situ Xue's hand, opened his folding fan, and greeted lazily, "Good morning, Situ."

Household 62 on Xihuai Street is an abandoned house.Sikong Xing pushed the door open, and the old wooden door creaked.The courtyard is barren, with miscellaneous trees and flowers growing in disorder.

Sikong Xing hesitated for a moment, and suddenly heard a strong wind blowing by his ears, he dodged sideways, avoided the sharp palm, and landed in the courtyard again.

Seeing his superb martial arts skills, the person who made the move couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration, and flew behind him like lightning, and made another attack.

Sikong Xing frowned even deeper, his thin lips were pursed tightly, and he didn't say a word.In a short while, the two of them passed more than ten strokes.The recruiter became more and more excited as he fought, a cold light flashed in his hand, and suddenly, a double-edged dagger appeared in his palm, at the same time, he shouted: "Second brother, use your dagger, let's come Have a good fight!"

When Sikong Xing heard the "Second Brother", his eyes froze for a moment. Seeing Sikong Yu attacking in front of him, he suddenly turned around, drew out the long sword at his waist, and struck the back of Sikong Yu's hand with the scabbard.

Sikong Yu cried out in pain, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.

Sikong Yu was stunned. When he was young, he looked at the dagger on the ground, then raised his eyes to look at Sikong Xing, and called out, "Second Brother?"

Sikong Xing stood with his hands behind his back, silent.Sikong Yu's eyes dimmed, and he bent over to pick up the dagger on the ground.On the handle of the dagger, there is also a pattern of seven stars reflecting the moon.

In the abandoned yard, the two brothers stood facing each other, silent.

After a while, Sikong Yu burst out laughing. He glanced at Sikong Xing again, lifted up his clothes, walked to the southeast corner of the courtyard, sat down under a plane tree, stretched his hands behind his back, and changed his appearance. Bring out a jug of wine.

Throwing the jug in his hand, Sikong Yu winked at Sikong Xing and said, "Second brother, come drink!"

Sikong Xing was silent for a while, and a very faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, he said "um", and sat beside him.

The sun was scorching, and the plants and trees in the courtyard were bathed in heat waves.Only under the sycamore tree is the shade, the two brothers passed on the wine, you take a sip and I take a sip.

After drinking for three rounds, Si Kongyu said with a smile: "Second brother, among the three of us, you are the most stupid. When we were both guards in the Forbidden Palace of Daying, you asked me why I could emerge from behind a tree every time. The wine is here, after so many years, have you guessed it?"

Sikong Xing took the jug, took a sip, nodded and said: "Well, you stole the wine beforehand and buried it under a tree. There is a thread on the mouth of the jug. When you want to change the wine, you just need to find the end of the thread and use it. As soon as you raise your internal strength, the wine jar can be transformed by you."

That was more than ten years ago.

The three brothers are orphans. They were sent to the palace as guards since they were children to learn martial arts.Among the three brothers, the eldest brother is the calmest, Sikong is lucky and dull, and Sikongyu is mischievous.Learning to be a guard is very hard, so when Si Kongyu is free, he steals some food and distributes it to the three brothers.And what he likes to steal the most is the fine nectar from the palace.

Sikong Yu laughed out loud. He took a sip of wine, stretched out his sleeve and wiped his mouth, and said: "I went out today, so I made a bet with my elder brother, betting if you could guess my tricks back then, and my elder brother said you didn't." , I said you guessed it. Haha, I guessed it right!"

Sikong Xing was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and asked, "Brother? Is he alright?"

"Not good." Sikong Yu's eyes darkened, he turned his head, glanced at Sikong Xing, and patted the back of his leg indifferently, "A few years ago, when we were working for the sixth prince, we encountered a surprise attack. I was hit by two arrows and my legs were crippled."

Sikong Xing's heart tightened, and he looked at Sikongyu in a daze.

Sikong Yu picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and threw it forward.Shi Zier drew an arc in the air and passed through the wooden door knocker.Seeing this, Sikong Yu couldn't help smiling.

"But after that, the Sixth Prince gave me a house with Eldest Brother. The size of the house was similar to this abandoned yard. Eldest Brother had nothing to do, so he planted three green poplar trees in front of the house. He said..." Sikong Yu paused, then turned to look at Sikong Xing, "Later, second brother, you will come back too, and we three brothers will live together and do some small business."

Sikong Xing heard the words, and also smiled warmly: "Brother is a person who can relax, but you are not. Can you let go of the status of the sixth prince's personal bodyguard and live an ordinary life?"

Sikong Yu hesitated for a moment.After a while, he "clanged" the wine jar to the ground, sat down facing Sikong fortunately, and nodded seriously: "Second brother, I can." After pausing, his face turned slightly red, and he said, "I see I fell in love with a girl, that girl doesn't like my life of beating and killing, I promise her that I won't be a guard in the future, I will just do some small business with my brother, and propose marriage to her."

Sikong Xing was stunned, for a moment, he raised his fist and hammered Sikongyu's shoulder.

The two brothers paused at the same time, looked at each other and laughed.

Sikong Yu smiled for a while, then suppressed his smile, and said, "Second brother, you can come back too, and come with us. The sixth prince promised me, as long as you are willing to come back. As long as we two brothers join hands and finish this last It's a matter. In the future, the sky will be high and the clouds will be bright, and we will not owe him any more."

We owe him no more.

The word "ow" stirred up a vortex in Sikong Xing's heart.For many years, he could never think of this word again.

When they were young, the three brothers were orphans and were adopted by a family.Later, that family was defeated and wanted to send the three brothers to the palace school as guards in exchange for some money to make ends meet.The eldest brother said to the two younger brothers, we are going because we owe them something.

The "owage" between the sixth prince and the three brothers Sikong stems from a pot of wine.

At that time, Si Kongyu stole wine to drink with his two brothers, but was discovered by the eunuch in the palace.Stealing wine by a guard is not considered a felony, but because the wine is a precious tribute, one person must be responsible for eighty sticks.The three brothers were young, fighting eighty battles, it was tantamount to killing them.But at that time, it happened that the Sixth Prince was visiting Daying, and seeing the three brothers suffering in the palace, he couldn't bear it, so he wanted to protect them, saying that seeing the three brothers were extremely talented, he wanted to ask Emperor Zhaohe to beg them and bring them back to Nam Jun .

Because at that time, Sikong Xing was already Ying Jingxuan's personal bodyguard, the sixth prince could not ask him to leave, but took away Sikong Yu and Sikong Bo.The crime of stealing alcohol is gone.

Speaking of which, Nan Jun's sixth prince, Du Liang, did have a life-saving grace for the three Sikong brothers.Since Sikong Bo and Sikong Yu owed him a life, they followed the Sixth Prince's side and worked extra hard.

Sikong Yu saw that Sikong Xing was silent, so he continued: "Second brother, the sixth prince is tired of the disputes in the court and the world. After the joint military talisman is completed, he will resign and return to the field, and he will never care about world affairs. When you come back, we will help the sixth prince to keep it safe." Alliance Talisman, okay?"

After saying the words "OK", Si Kongyu's tone softened, as if he was pleading.

The younger brother who was mischievous and rebellious in the past, was there ever a time when he was so humble?
Sikong Xing suddenly felt a little sad, but after a while, he said: "I am the guard of Daying, and I have been with the First Prince for more than ten years. What he wants to do, the country he wants to protect, I should be devastated by it."

"Second brother!" Si Kongyu got up suddenly, and said anxiously: "What country? In this world, whoever is powerful is the one who decides the country. You and my brother are orphans, and we don't even know which country we are from. Where did we come from?" With a passion to protect the country for others?"

"Then what about you?" Sikong Xing raised his head to look at Sikong Yu, "Why do you want to help the Sixth Prince guard the coalition amulet? Participate in this matter?"

Si Kongyu frowned and said, "I helped the Sixth Prince because he saved my life. Take ten thousand steps back and say that the coalition talisman was originally a property of Nan Jun Kingdom. Now, Ying Jingxuan wants to destroy it under the guise of Nan Jun. The handsome water and soil have nurtured me for so many years, shouldn't I help the sixth prince protect it?"

Sikong Xing was silent for a while, then patted the hem of his clothes, he straightened up, glanced at Sikongyu, lowered his eyes and said: "The reason why the eldest son wants to destroy the alliance talisman is because there is a rebellious party in Daying, and the rebellious party will use the alliance talisman to unite the north and the south." Military strength, seeking power and usurping the throne. The eldest son's move is just because he doesn't want to win the people and fall into the dire straits of war."

After finishing speaking, Sikong Xing remained silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The way is different, so we don't conspire with each other." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.After walking a few steps, Sikong Xing suddenly turned his head and said calmly: "When this is over, I... will go and see you and elder brother."

After hearing this, Sikong Yu couldn't help but took two steps back. He shook his head, gave a wry smile, and asked in a low voice: "Second Brother? You did this just for... a word of loyalty?"

Sikong Xing stopped.

"Since ancient times, loyalty and righteousness have been in a dilemma. Speaking of which, second brother, you stand on Yingjingxuan's side, just because of the word loyalty, but on the other side, there is the sixth prince's kindness to save your life, the friendship of our three brothers, and more ...your third brother, Si Kongyu's life."

Sikong Xing's pupils contracted suddenly, he turned around and said in shock, "What did you say?"

Si Kongyu leaned on the big tree leisurely, and laughed: "Heh, who made Ying Jingxuan so stupid to reveal his identity? Then, it won't be so easy for you to save Fang Yifei, right?"

Sikong Xing said in a daze: "You know the agreement between Tang Yu and us?"

Si Kongyu smiled and said: "So, second brother, who will you help at that time? If you can help me, then Ying Jingxuan will be seriously injured at most, and there may be some resistance in the matter of the alliance talisman But if you are still loyal to Ying Jingxuan, then you will pay..." Si Kongyu's eyes sharpened, and he said word by word, "It's my Si Kongyu's life!"
